Use a protective pad - A good quality, washable mattress pad (and one for the foundation, too, if you like) is a must to keep your set fresh and free from stains.

---

Let it breathe - If you detect a slight “new product” odor, leave the mattress and foundation uncovered and well ventilated for a few hours.  A breath of fresh air should do the trick!

---

Give it good support - Be sure to use a sturdy, high quality bed frame.  If it’s a queen or king size set, make sure your frame has the strong center support that will prevent bowing or breakage.

---

Don’t dry clean - The chemicals in dry cleaning agents/spot removers may be harmful to the fabric or underlying materials.  Vacuuming is the only recommended cleaning method.  But if you’re determined to tackle a stain, use mild soap with cold water and apply lightly.  Do not ever soak a mattress or foundation.

Don’t remove the tag - Contrary to popular belief, it’s not illegal to remove the tag, but the information on the label will serve as a means of identification should you have a warranty claim.
